A bit of a misleading headline, in my opinion. Since 69% still blame George W Bush. Even 50% of Republicans still blame Bush a great deal or a moderate amount. I think this does not bode well for the Republicans in the national election for President, unless it changes by this time next year?

1. It's wrong, but I can understand why.

Sure, he didn't break the economy, but on the other hand he neither fixed it (which, frankly would have been impossible in such a short time) or, more importantly, given people confidence that he was on the right track by taking bold steps to set a recovery in motion. (No, I don't know what steps. I'm not smart enough to figure those things out. I just vote for people who I hope will be smart enough. So far, they haven't been.)
